ELEGY ON 4 RAILROAD PASS.

At the coming meeting of General Pas
senger Agents the following poem, writ
ten by the railroad man ON a wild Western
paper, will be read:
"No more, 'twixt rails of IRON laid
Der field and moor aud fallow,
Anemones will bloom and fade,
And daisies, white and yellow;
No more between the ties win grow
The weeds and tangled grasses;
They'll be dead, all trodden low
By people without passes.
"From many fair provincial place,
Where companies are stranded,
Iu early spring will set the pace,
Those companies disbanded;
From many legislative hall
Will come fresh contingent;
Shippers and editors will fall
In line there's no Infringement
"Of the grim law : when skies above
Betoken settled weather
Then will the sorrowing cohorts move
Along the track together.
No mere between the ties will grow
The weeds and tangled grasses;
They'll all be dead, all trodden low
BY people without passes"

Then, too, Il company may refuse

not be expelled for want of ticket
if he tenders the legal fare.
But if you refuse to pay your fare
and the train has been stopped tor

from the conductor the right TO ex-

Nor having been put off do you

Except that it the train stops at

conductor should receive it.

ii is Lawful to 6xpel a passenger it

In some States a statute provides
that he expulsion must be at

guns aud four mOrtars. The posi-
IiOn is one OF advantage aud covers
the entrance to Lake BOrgne from

The guns are ready and the
money is ready, but owing to the
failure of our Southern dealers in
lumber and supplies, TO bid for
furnishing tue material needed,
there will be a long delay before
work can be started, a. permission
will have to be obtained from the
Department at Washington to re-
advertise for bids, alter which
there will be another long wait.
